Back from Schwab's. The gentleman who started the restaurant eight months ago, Steve, has moved on. He got out while the gettin' was good. When Pogue and I first discovered Schwab's it was a major find. Great food, one of the best Caesar Salads in town, great meat loaf, personable staff. Well, I'm giving this restaurant another few months before it goes completely in the toilet. Both Pogue and I started with the half-Caesar. This was always a nice big portion served in a bowl. What we got was a few strands of lettuce. Worst of all, however, they changed the dressing. How stupid are these people. The new dressing was fairly blechhh-tasting. So, they gave up having one of the best Caesars and are now just one of the many restaurants to serve up a middling one. Pogue's ever-lovin' Julieanne had the sirloin strip salad, which she's had before and loved. Tonight's wasn't edible and she had to return it and get a chicken version. Pogue had the ever-reliable meat loaf and garlic mashed potatoes. He said that it appeared to him as if the potatoes were but a shadow of their former self. I had a bacon cheeseburger, which the waiter told me was the best burger in town. It was fine, but hardly the best in town. Their secret sauce was practically barf-inducing, so I used ketchup instead. The one thing that was excellent was the eight layer chocolate cake that the three of us split. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone ever again.
Jane - I bought the Panasonic 5230 and I love the phones. Great clarity. And, best of all, it doesn't interfere with the wireless computer device. Whatever you get, just make sure it's 5.8gh.
